I'm so excited to share my portfolio. I hope you all enjoy and I really hope you share yours too! 

I've been reading Drawing on the Artist Within by Betty Edwards- the author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. I don't know if any of you have read it, but in this book she went on a journey to learn about the creative process and how to tap into your creative potential. She talks about how we all have this part of us that cannot be expressed with words but can only be expressed creatively... art and mark making are our way of sharing that part of ourselves with others. I think it's so beautiful to think of every one of us as having a unique 'visual voice' - a completely unique way of expressing our inner world and sharing how we view the world around us. It's very inspiring and I've been thinking about it a lot lately and wanted to share. I highly recommend the book and I hope you enjoy my portfolio!

Bethany - Thank you for sharing your portfolio - these drawings and paintings are really lovely and expressive.

And I so agree with the idea about everyone’s uniqueness in expressing ourselves creatively - I'm new to expressing my visual voice via drawing and painting, but have found the same is true of writing. And, of course, writing and visual arts enhance each other. It's amazing to me how much I’ve learned in these courses.

PS also love that you are a fellow coffee drinker!
